Summary

"Against This Age" by Maxwell Bodenheim is a poetic journey through the early 1900s, expressing the author's thoughts on people, feelings, and what it means to be alive during a time of big changes in society. The poems talk about life, love, what's expected of us, and finding yourself, offering an honest look at being human in a confusing world.
